Abilene visit / Happy Birthday Sheena!

The last weekend in August we traveled to Abilene...yes we did a lot of traveling in August. We got to celebrate Sheena's birthday with her and spend some time with family. 


Happy Birthday Sheena!!! You can't see her cake very well, but it was a pink and white polka dot box. 

Paul and Sheena

Lincoln did not know what to think about Aunt Sheena's hair. he kept starring at it and laughing. :)

Zachary was drinking out of an old mug that use to belong to Nick when we were at Poppa's house. We actually ended up bringing it home. :)

Family air hockey at Prime Time 

Zachary is really good at this...and he is left handed!

We kept making fun of Poppa because he was putting with one hand, in the other hand he had his water bottle and towel. he always carries these 2 things around with him, it is like Linus and his blanket from Charlie Brown. :) Well he ended up getting a HOLE IN ONE!!! We were all shocked!


getting ready for Laser Tag. the vest was HUGE on him

Davaul boys ready for some booty kickin in laser tag!

Go kart riding

the boys had a blast racing each other...it looks like Nick and I are having the most fun, which we were!

I LOVE this photo of the two of them driving their own karts and laughing at each other. :)



Prime Time in Abilene was a fun place! Plus we got a military discount...thanks Poppa!! :)

Visiting Mama Dot

In August we also traveled to Fort Worth to visit Bekah's grandmother, Mama Dot. My cousins were coming into town too so we got to see a lot of our family. Mama Dot was so excited to meet Lincoln for the first time and of course to see all of her grandkids and great grandkids. 

This is my favorite picture of the boys getting ready for bed at Mama Dot's house

Mama Dot and Lincolns

She is showing Lincoln her tongue. 

Cousin Shelby and Lincoln. Shelby is starting her first year of college at UT Arlington. 

My favorite pic of Pops and Lincoln. 

Mama Dot and most of her great-grandkids. She was missing 4 of them. She looks so happy in these pictures. 


Lincoln's girlfriend

One of my best friends from college had her first baby about 2 months after Lincoln was born. Elizabeth and Cody Palmer had a precious little baby girl named Mary "Carlyle." They live in between Ft. Worth and Weatherford and we took a trip to go see them in August. Lincoln and Carlyle may be 2 months apart but they were about the same size. Elizabeth has an old baby scale that was past down to her from her grandmother and both babies weighed about 12lbs. :) Carlyle was born at 8lbs. and Lincoln was 6lbs. 5oz.

Sweet Carlyle swinging in her really awesome baby swing. 

The 2 love birds...they just dont know it yet. :)


I guess Carlyle is not quite ready for a boyfriend.

Me and Elizabeth and our cute babies. Im so excited that she is now a mom. :)


Mississippi Trip / Happy Birthday Grandma B

In August we traveled to Mississippi to visit Nick's grandmother and family. We have made it a tradition to go see his grandmother every year on her birthday. Grandma B looks great for being 91!

On the way there we found a high school called Camden. Kaiden thought it was so cool because it was like a mixture of Kaiden and Cameron (his cousin). So of course we had to stop and take a picture. :)

Nick's mini me. 


Can he really be big enough to do the monkey bars all by himself?




Showing off his martial arts skills with the water

Poppa has the magic touch when getting Lincoln to sleep. I swear Lincoln melts every time and goes right to sleep. :)


Welcome to Mississippi 2012

BOOM!

Poppa was teaching the boys how they used a cannon back in the day.
